Because that’s the way sectionals are
Used . If every house had windows like the one in the picture just one DH
Like that all over the house,then I would of never bought sectionals , but that’s not the case

Sorry, guess I didn’t explain my question well. I was thinking that it was to far to reach up from that short a ladder. But, I guess you did reach it, so dumb question.

I posted the pitcher of the ladder at an angle resting safely on only one ladder rail to see if the extension ladder users would object, thinking it was unsafe.
A friend of mine runs into a lot of resistance when he trains new guys how to use the sectional ladder. They want to keep the ladder square with the wall and object to climbing it leaning sideways at an angle on one rail. But that’s how they were designed to be used, right?
While you were doing that, you helped me, I just bought my sectional ladder and will remember that tip. I guess I am just hatin because wcra has not sent my v-groove top yet and it has been a while.
You don’t really need a v groove top. The closed top section works just fine. If you look at my pic earlier I made my closed top into a roller top with carpet and PVC and it’ll rest on any corner and not dent or mess them up.

With an extension ladder I’d get both windows at the same time in your picture. I have yet to see any sectional in use pictures that I couldn’t get with a extension ladder.

If you would set it up at the base of the window you would dent the styrofoam popouts. As what probably happened from the last window cleaner.

Yep.
Its spun a little to far to the right for my taste. If you have it spun to far when you lean on the outside ladder post the latter can spin on you real quick. As a general rule it should come directly off the corner so it does not spin. The further its spun towards the wall the higher the risk of it spinning on you. Other than that it looks great.
As far as the comments on ladders being unsafe, its not the ladder that is dangerous but the user. Ladders are perfectly safe if you follow the safety procedures. Not to mention you can’t use a water fed pole inside a house or building. And don’t post a picture of the Unger indoor window swiffer doohickey either. That thing is a piece of crap. You can use a squeegee and a pole but not on every window. At some point you will have to get on a ladder. I would be more afraid of falling if I rarely use a ladder vs if I use one all the time.
So then where do you put the ladder on the window to the left in this picture?
I would set the ladder up on the space between the window detail styrofoam and the piece that looks like it divides the 1st and 2nd floor. Thankfully we don’t ever run into stucco covered styrofoam.

I agree that way works well, though I do not see a standout damaging the Styrofoam pop outs. Also I know myself until I get some more time with these sectional ladders I will take to much time making sure it is safe, once I get to the top level I will be doing wheelies with my ladder across a whole side wall of windows 
Just to the left of the popout. Kinda a pain in the ass but gotta do what ya gotta do.
I’ve honestly rarely used extension ladders maybe only a handful of times. I wouldn’t know the first thing of setting them up with standoffs etc. So this is just one of many ways to do it.

Sometimes, when the ground is uneven for an example, I need to spin the ladder onto one rail. I believe this is one of the reasons the ladder comes to a point at the top. I keep my weight away from that outside rail and have never had a problem. I suppose it could be a problem for someone a bit high on drugs or weed but most people have the common sense to keep their weight off the outside edge.
A few friends of mine DO NOT have ladder levelers on their sectionals. They are old timers and learned the trade from old timers who are no longer with us. Evidently the ladders were designed before ladder levelers were invented and work very well without them. I asked around and found more than six guys who said I don’t need my ladder levelers. So far so good. The ladder is much lighter and easier to use without them.
PS. No more ladder levelers and setting my ladder up at bigger angles is the reason for my original post. I am looking for feedback from other sectional users regarding safety and what is common for sectional ladder set ups.
PPS: I have a little giant ladder leveler in the truck just in case I need it. Haha
Sectionals and extensions are stupid…

What about taking the mid section out and putting a standout on the foundation of the pop out?

Perhaps we should have more than one ladder on our trucks so we can use the most efficient ladder for the job. I seem to get by with ONLY one ladder, if you don’t count my small 2 ft step ladder, but I bet a couple extension ladders in my arsenal would speed things up on some jobs, however the sectionals will speed things up on other jobs.
